Not just multi national but ALL corporations. Stop this lobby bullshit and
take special interests out totally. Make it so the guy running the quicky
mart has the same voice as the walmart. Then I could get a squishy easily
!
I think two things would totally change this country for the better. Get
rid of election spending. They can go on tv for free if they want to. Hey,
even have multiple debates. And second, get rid of lobbiests. They own
our government currently.
Wait, good news! Fox (who everyone knows delivers the truth) says there's
good news coming out of Iraq. I checked Pollstar but I don't see the Rolling
Stones playing there. Wonder what this awesome news is. hehe. Maybe it's
a new walmart !
